AJ,

Thank you for your work on this kernel, it has been great.

I have experienced a couple of issues running 2.0.1 on AoCP 5.7 and 5.8, I don't know if these are related to the other reported issue.

After a clean flash of AoCP 5.8, I flashed the kernel cleaner and then 2.0.1 following your OP instructions. At first it seemed ok, but I then noticed that setting the Android debugging under Developer was not sticking.

Then I attempted to restore a couple of Nandroid backups of AoCP 5.7 made on 2.0.1. Both restore attempts died with a problem restoring /data.

I did not attempt 2.0.3 yet, and have reflashed AoCP with the default kernel. the device seems normal now.

Good luck and Thanks again

Mass Storage

I have tried several times and also tried fixing permissions. I am unable to get Mass Storage to work correctly. It will only connect the internal SD card to the computer. MTP will connect both Internal and External. I can get by with MTP but the Mass Storage does have better performance. Also when Mass Storage is forced it still says in the status that I am connected to media.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shawn:
Grab a logcat for the setting not sticking. As for the CWM errors, likely a corrupt backup.

Check default.prop. You may need to change settings there. I've had similar problems before that seem to be linked to switching from a Samsung Rom to an AOSP rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twcobra:
I can get into mass storage but it will only show the internal card. I will try a full wipe with 2.03 in the morning to see my problems go away. I have had to wipe a couple times lately to get the kernel to work rite.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mpkothari:
Flashed 2.03S and like a few others I was stuck on Samsung logo for a while. I've had that happen before so didn't freak. Then I couldn't get into recovery at all...now I started freaking. Pulled out the battery, hooked up the usb cable to computer from phone and got into download mode and realized after a **** ton of error messages and no COM port detection in ODIN that my usb port on phone is mucked. Now I really started sweating. So I disconnected the cable, put in the battery and went into download mode again and still no COM port connection. Pulled battery again, put it back in and powered the device and miraculously got past the Samsung boot screen. I don't exactly know which one of those processes got it to work.

What I mean is:

set phone for USB storage.

Go to system root.

Find and open file called default.prop

find line persist.sys.usb.config= (Whatever it might say here)

change that line to persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb

Make sure that after you've made changes to the file (and saved them!) that the permissions are still 644 (RW-R-R-)

Also, go to data/property

open as text the file named persist.sys.usb.config

make sure that file also reads mass_storage,adb

In this case persist.sys.usb.config is the file name and mass_storage,adb are its contents.

Make sure that after you've made changes to the file (and saved them!) that the permissions are still 600 (RW -- --)

Sometimes these settings get a little jammed. Not sure why.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twcobra:
Well it works not but kind of different. The internel SD comes up automatically but the external card I have to go to the USB connected and connect. Then the external card will connect. I did notice that the setting you ad me change reverts back to mtp after reboot. Also my data folder is empty so the persist.sys.usb.config file must be in another location in the Captivating Rom. I may throw AOCP on to rule out Captivating RC2 as the problem. Other then that 2.0.1 is running real smooth. 2.0.3 would freeze on my occasionally so I took a step back. Again 2.0.3 might be perfectly fine on AOCP I will give that a try to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsbrohan:
Not sure what is different about your phone but I have successfully flashed all of said ROMs and had zero SD card issues. Also you seem to be one of the very few, if only, people having this problem. Perhaps its time for a new card?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Whizzpopper:
I don't think this is a kernel issue. Hopefully, you made sure that settings in system settings and STweaks were the same as whatever you were entering in the default.prop file. System Settings->Storage->Menu->USB Connection should be set to mount USB and similarly settings in STweaks under "Other" should be, USB mount automatically should be selected and "default" (the force setting seems unnecessary to me) under USB settings or whatever it's called. Sorry if this is obvious.

We shouldn't carry this conversation on here since it seems this is not a kernel issue. You might ask for help over in the help forum if none of this works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twcobra:
It was the ROM. AOCP is working great on 2.0.3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Whizzpopper:
Just a quick question. Does the BFQ scheduler need other settings changed as well? I have not been able to use BFQ as the wake scheduler with getting a SoD. It'll work okay for awhile but usually after a longish period of inactivity, it'll start locking up.

cannot find the external SD card

after install the 2.0.3, I found the exteranl SD lost. in the CMM, nor can I mount it, neither can I flash zip files in the SD card. I did search and find some discussion like change the media connection settings and the default.prop entries. But the OS was not loaded yet in CMM, will it impact?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EzSqueezeCheese:
Last CM based ROM I flashed caused a missing SD issue. Flashed back to a Sammy ROM and the SD was back. Then, I flashed Ajk on top of the Sammy ROM and I still have my SD. I'm thinking these are issues originate from the ROM itself.

How would I flash that, could I just flash it in Mobile ODIN Pro with putting the zimage in the kernel slot??

been running this kernel for a week. only issue is priodic touchscreen is un responsive on onlock screen. I have to reboot to solve thew issue. Is there a link to the kernel cleaning script ive read about in early posts? Id like to try that. Other than that, i love how well my phones running on this. I really like the many battery saving features.

EDIT- I have read a hundred pages, My stweaks settings will not stick. they go back to default every time. Any ideas??

New versions added to the OP.

There is a new NO-SWAP version that can be used on the new AT&T 4.1.2 Official ROM release for the i777. Please be aware that the Samsung version will not work properly on the 4.1.2 release.

Make sure that you are following the install instructions exactly. It seems like your permissions are not set properly.

So far so good on 2.0.5s. No sods after 36 hours. Still has the weird mass storage issue when connecting to the computer. MTP at least works fine. Mass storage works ok to as long as you are not to spoiled turning on mass storage the old fashion way lol. Mass storage worked fine in 1.48s automatically, so I am sure it's not a card issue. Battery life is much improved over 1.48s so for now it looks like 2.05s is a promising successor to 1.48s.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sykoj82:
The latest from jellybam version 8.0 that now has Halo, works very nicely with 2.05...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twcobra:
I had my first sod on 2.0.5s. Since I have had the same thing happen on 1.48s I did what has always cured it. I did a factory reset and restore. Now 2.05s is running real smooth.

Has anyone had their power button stop working? Twice now I've had to reboot my phone to get my power button back. After that it works just fine.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Whizzpopper:
I was getting a few sods too. I disabled Smooth Scaling Level and changed SCALING_MAX_SUSPEND_FREQ to 800000kHz (Samsung default according to STweaks) and haven't had any problems since. This is using the pegasusq wake and sleepy sleep, ROW scheduler.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dpaik:
still not as smooth and battery friendly as 1.48S...wonder what's wrong
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twcobra:
Try a full wipe and restore. For some reason the later generation of kernels and Roms do not seam to integrate well unless they start fresh together. At least on my extremely picky phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twcobra:
You might try the setting mentioned above as well. I just had another sod even after a full.wipe.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twcobra:
I think I found my issue with SODs. Apparently my phone did not like to be undervolted in GPU on the battery profile. I am assuming there is something different with the mali drivers in 2.0.5s. vs 1.48s. Now I cab get back to working on my own profile I have been playing with.

V2.05s interactive governor immediately freezes after applying it in stweaks..did the same thing last version too. Other than that it's a good kernel.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twcobra:
Yes something is up. I started playing with my nightmare and sleepy govs and started.getting SODs. Back on 1.48s and no problems, Its strange that 2,0.5s will work fine for almost 2 day's then just start crashing.

Unlike some people, I AAAAAMMM picky about my UMS auto mounting. My phone plugs into my car and it plays the MP3 files from the external memory card. I hate having to fiddle with the phone in the bright sun, and would much rather prfer simply plugging the phone in and just going.

Is this mounting issue being corrected? Please tell me that it is!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] auTONYmous:
I'm getting SODs that others are reporting while using hyper/conservative. I haven't played with any voltage settings, just default profile on 2.0.5 with cm10.1 nightlies
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Spinergy02:
Honestly, though, if he's so disappointed he should just switch to a different kernel. No one is forcing us to use any particular kernel. I know I personally chose this one because it always worked so much better than any of the others.

First off, I am not pointing out any one particular post here. I have held back from posting about the people claiming issues but this is too much, It's a small number and usually the same few. I have run this kernel since helping with testing the 7.x.x versions. I've never had any issues with any release unless it was something AJ acknowledged having left something out which was always immediately corrected. These issues seem to be after people start tweaking this profile and that profile and Lord knows how many conflicting control apps/scripts they have installed or leftover. Or after flashing 4.2.2 ( SOD's/un-mounted SD card anyone?) OS which is still unofficial and still not designed for this phone. Unless you are running the kernel at the default settings like I have, you are bound to find a profile environment your particular chipset will not like. It's not a kernel issue as much a compatibility issue, I think. So use your head and instead of complaints or constantly reposting the same problem, run at default or move on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Whizzpopper:
I believe the problem is that many users do not know when they are in over their heads and developers don't realize that users don't have a clue what they're doing. Since this is a developers forum and portal, it should be the users' responsibility to assume they haven't got a clue and bring issues they encounter to devs from that perspective. So the offending poster in this case should have said, " have a problem with xyz, what am I doing wrong," not "I have a problem with xyz, what you (AJ) are doing is wrong."

FWW I've learned through trial and error that with kernels you can't usually just change a governor without changing other settings as well. Developers don't always know or have time to work out what the optimal settings are for your particular preferences. What that means is, as is said so often on XDA, you have to work it out yourself. If AJ might reconsider leaving, I'd recommend starting a separate thread in the help section where users can post what they have found to be optimal settings. They can also help troubleshoot there. Definite bugs that can be reproduced by more than one user can be reported here. When users come whining to this thread first, their posts can be summarily deleted and ignored, and offending users can be warned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Whizzpopper:
So maybe you needed to change some other settings?

Reread your post. It certainly comes across that way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Naddict:
Wow...just wow...

Firstly, and I know nothing of the developer and/or his/her work. But if they pulled their work, then that is up to them. Nowhere in this thread do I see the dev posting the reasons why the work was pulled, maybe to enhance or move on? I have no clue, but what I do know is that the childish banter and flaming that followed, and has thus been cleaned, is absolutely, positively NOT development..

Next time, report the posts, don't get involved in troll comments and commentary. That is a colossal waste and leads to infractions, and infractions lead to bans, and then, no development for you at all.

Move along folks, nothing more to see here.

Please remember that this kernel was created for my friends & family to use, and I also share it here.

You are not obligated to use it. If you do decide to use this kernel, that does not give you the right to be disrespectful.

Please report any bugs that you find, and be sure to include a logcat...otherwise your "issue" will be ignored.

Reporting something 1 time is sufficient. If someone else has already reported it, you do not need to re-report the same bug.

Remember the 2 primary rules here on XDA are:

1) Be respectful.

2) Use the search functions - both the XDA search and Google.

If you are experiencing issues that no one else is having, then it is not the kernel at fault....

I was using jthatch's kernel for a little while but he doesn't seem to be actively updating it anymore so I'm using AJK again. I have a question regarding scrolling performance - benchmarks on your kernel are the same or better than jthatch's on my phone (cm10.1). I have better better life using AJK, while on his kernel, scrolling seems smoother (more "buttery" perhaps), both on my homescreen and in apps. Ditto on my wife's GS2 running SHOstock3. Is this a conscious design choice to save battery, or possibly a consequence of something I'm doing? Is there a setting in stweaks that may hurt or improve scrolling smoothness? Might it be related to vsync or some kind of video buffering?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
This is related to tuning the profile (governor settings, touch sensitivity, touch boost (which is off by default) etc) to match your phone/ROM/preferences.

jthatch had imported into STi a more aggressive governor called Wrexy that was written by Alexander Clouter. This more aggressive governor may be what you are experiencing. I may add Wrexy at some point since some people have no interest in tuning governors to achieve their desired performance/battery ratio.

You can tune HYPER to be more aggressive with extremely good results. Hopefully some others will chime in here with their personal HYPER settings. I know some have came up with some AMAZING profile tweaks, but I will leave it to those individuals to decide if they want to share with the community or not.

Welcome back AJ. The version 3 kernels have been nothing short of awsome. I did want to know is there any further GPS tweaks that could be added in Stweaks. I know the i777 is a bit tempermental in the GPS department. My experience has been that on stock kernels the GPS can be sluggish. On any of the Siyah based kernels the GPS will lock extemely well but will take a hit in power consumption. To the point of my battery dropping even while charging. Unless I run the GPS with the screen off. Thats why I was wondering if there is a way to adjust the gain of the GPS. This way each phone could be tuned to get the best balance of GPS lock and battery consumption.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
A governor-like system could be implemented to control GPS power levels. That might help some with battery. It is a little late in the game to be adding something of that scale to Android 4.2 kernels, but I may implement it in Android 4.3 kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twcobra:
Thanks. My old S2 will most likely be around awhile. The only reason I am still using it is because Samsung and AT@T locked the S4 down solid as a rock on the last update just before I could buy one. :(. Now I am waiting to see what the Xphone or maybe the LG G2 has to offer.
